Chapter 8

I listen to hear heart slow more and I know I only have moments, nay mere miliseconds before she'll be completly dead... I look at her body more scared out of my mind and I see that she had hand prints that were black and blue all over and her clothes were tattered I realized someone was abusing this poor girl. (She only looked 6 or 7 for heavens sake!)

As her heart slowed moreand grew fainter (almost faint enough where my amplified hearing couldn't hear it and I began to panic more. Then a eerie calm washed over me and my mind began to calculate.... The whispers from around me tell my body what to do... Its like I'm watching a stranger do what my body does next... I bit my wrist and I push it against the little girls mouth. Then I bit down on the little girls wrist drinking deeply until I taste a rancid metallic taste and my body stops drinking automatically closing the bite wound on her wrist. Slowly I pull my wrist away and I wait. I watch as the little girl convulses like electricity runs through her then suddenly the bones in her neck snap back into place and she stills.

I listen intently to her heart and hear it slow down then stop all together. I start to cry because I killed the little girl in cold blood... She was here at the wrong time and I killed her. As I start crying I hear a dull thud bump. I look up through my tears at the little girl. Slowly her heart began to beat... Her body slowly filled out with muscle and her hair became a shiny dark brown instead of the dull brown it was before. Her heart began to beat Faster and faster until her eyes open to be hazel rings and violet centers. She looked scared and disoriented and a Lil twitchy like she has pent up energy or pain...

"W-who are you? What happened? W-why does my throat hurt? W-why a-are y-you staring a-at m-me?" She balls herself up tightly shaking profusely while training her jerky eyes on me... I slowly put my hands up palms forward to her and looked straight into her eyes.

"Hey little one. I'm Lee. I'm not gonna hurt you ok?there was an accident...I was doing something and you scared me to were you got hurt..." The little girl widened her eyes and whimpered trying to scoot away.

"Hey , hey, shooosh you're ok its all right in not gonna hurt you ok? Anyway I saved you but I have a question besides your throat how do you feel? Do you hurt anywhere else? Does your neck hurt little one? And how old are you?"

She hesitates for a moment, then slowly nods her head yes.

"Where does it hurt little one?"

"Just my head and neck." "Ok on a scale from on to 10, 1 being its fine, 10 being very painful how bad does it hurt?"

She reaches both hands out and shows 10. "Ok so how old are you and do you wanna see if we can get some medicine for your throat?"

She looks down shyly and whispers "yes please..."

"Okay and how old are you again sweety?"

She balls up tighter, "7."

I smile encouragingly at her and raised her head gently so her eyes were on my face.

"Okay lil one, come on, get up let's get you some medicine." I slowly get up and reach down. She unballs herself and takes my hand but her grip was too tight I felt all my bones shatter in my hand and I drop to the ground screaming..... The little girl looks super scared and starts crying saying she's so sorry. I bite my lip to hold back more screams of pain I look up at her frightened eyes and I smile through the pain....

"I'm ok just that your grip was a tiny bit too tight little one be careful next time kay?"

She nods very slightly... Finally my hand heals up about 30 minutes later and the pain dissaptes. "Lets go get some medicine hun ok?" I reach out to her once again and she takes it this time lightly setting her tiny hand in mine. We walk into the forest for a tiny bit of time until we reach a clearing. I let go of her hand and I throw her onto my back. I sped quietly through the trees and underbrush until I reached a place to stop. I threw my head back making sure I don't hit little one and took a breath from my nose. I caught a faint sent to my left that the wind was blowing my sent behind me away from the prey... This time I noticed the difference between the animalistic sent and human... (And for your information the reason as to why I didn't pay attention earlier was because I hadn't fed in two months and I was becoming feral. So yea I need to feed more regularly. Blood packets don't work as well to quench my inhumane hunger. Sorry.)
